Citadel on Prime Video: Release date, trailer and latest news

Joe Russo recently told RadioTimes.com of the series: "What is unique about our world is that these are not lone wolves. These are not single agents, we’re following the story of a collection of characters who work for a specific agency and it’s about the politics of that agency and it’s about their relationships with each other and the complexity of those relationships and we’re adding a twist to that – some of the characters are struggling with remembering their identity as agents."

Here's everything we know so far!

When is Citadel released on Prime Video?

The first two episodes of Citadel will be released on 28th April 2023 on Prime Video.

The remaining four episodes will then be released weekly, with the series concluding on 26th May.

Who stars in Citadel?

The following stars have been confirmed for the Citadel cast.

• Richard Madden as Mason Kane
• Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Nadia Sinh
• Stanley Tucci as Bernard Orlick
• Lesley Manville as Dahlia Archer
• Osy Ikhile as Carter Spence
• Ashleigh Cummings as Abby Conroy
• Roland Møller as Anders Silje and Davik Silje
• Caoilinn Springall as Hendrix Conroy

The new series has a starry cast and is led by none other than Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas.

Madden, an icon of British TV, is best known for roles including Robb Stark in Game of Thrones and the popular BBC drama Bodyguard, as well as appearing in films including Rocketman, alongside Taron Egerton, and Marvel's Eternals.

"The idea of playing two different people in one body, that's a fascinating thing for me," he told RadioTimes.com of his new role.

"Also because we're creating this huge world, that's rooted in reality...it had a lot of things that brought me into it but it's a brilliant story and it's really complicated and everyone exists in this grey zone where they all lie and cheat and screw each other over and it's a great story."

Chopra Jonas, meanwhile, started her career in numerous Bollywood films, including romantic thriller Aitraaz and the box office hits Krrish and Don. Most recently, she appeared in the film The White Tiger (which she also served as executive producer on) and in The Matrix Resurrections.

Also starring in Citadel is Stanley Tucci, best known for films including The Devil Wears Prada, Easy A, Supernova, and The Hunger Games franchise, as well as TV shows like Inside Man.

Madden and Chopra Jonas have spoken out about the series and are clearly excited about the prospect of playing different versions of their characters as the show jumps back and forwards in time.

"The show is completely non-linear,” Chopra Jonas said at a press conference. “We had to remind each other of the story. It was like a big jigsaw to remember.”

Madden added: "Sometimes, you’re like, ‘What character am I now? What do I know? What do I not know?'”

Chopra Jonas went on to say: "Well, I have a scar on my eyebrow – that’s courtesy of Citadel. I don’t even cover it anymore!”

What is the plot of Citadel?

A synopsis for the series reads: "Global spy agency Citadel has fallen, and its agents' memories were wiped clean. Now the powerful syndicate, Manticore, is rising in the void. Can the Citadel agents recollect their past and summon the strength to fight back?"
